Hmm, there again is libexpat, and in addition libfreetype. we should
get rid of all of them in the strings -a ... output.

Vladimir, can you give a quick howto how you relinked xetex manually?

Martin: 
- go into Work/texk/web2c
- rm xetex
- make
- copy the last g++ line that links the stuff
- move the -lfontconfig to the end
- remove -lexpat and -lz if it occurs
- retry the strings -a incantation

Vladimir?

And thanks for building Martin, looks fine in principle.

Best wishes

Norbert
